In these area, the conference is concerned with Sustainable construction; Eco-retrofitting; Resilience; Adapting to climate change; Eco-materials and technologies; Life cycle analysis; Sustainable communities; Effective public transit; low-tec, low-cost self -build etc. This interdisciplinary conference welcomes international contributions from across sectors, such as: environmental engineers, sustainable architects, urban planners, infrastructure designers, building technologists, policy makers, community representatives and others.
